Use hostage taker’s power on a flipped werewolf or eternal token and it dies why you try to play it, why?
//Edited Title -Brigby
Yeah, well I don’t think the token is supposed to go into your hand. The ability works like a bounce spell to your hand, which means any token would be destroyed instead.
I had the same thing happen with a plant token from dowsing dagger. It went in my hand and showed as a rare card. Took 14 mana to cast it back to the board and then it instantly died. I assume the 14 mana is because it assumes Hostage Taker’s mana cost?
Anyway, pretty sure this thread belongs in the “Bugs” thread @bken1234
Tokens don’t exist anywhere but the battlefield. If you put a token into hand, it simply ceases to exist, this has always been the case in this game (try using a blue bounce spell on creature tokens, and you’ll see it just dies instead)
Using it on a flipped werewolf, however, should put it into your hand human-side up. Might be a coding error.

Watch the Mr. Steal Your Girl video if you want to see the bug in all of its glory.
Thanks for the heads up! I’ll pass this along to the QA team for review.
